Free consultation · Free board review
A tumour board is a meeting where cancer specialists from different fields discuss your case together and agree on one treatment plan.
Diagnosed at another hospital? You’re welcome too, with no commitment to start treatment at CION.
Four steps from your first visit to a clear plan.
Call 1800 202 8726 or fill in the form. Then visit CION Ameerpet with all your reports and scans.
Your CION doctor examines you and goes through your reports, scans and any treatment so far.
Your CION doctor presents your case to the board. The specialists weigh the options together and agree on one plan. You don’t attend this meeting.
At a follow-up visit, your CION doctor explains the plan and the reasons for it, and gives you a written summary.
CION’s tumour board brings together 17 specialists from all CION centres: medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, and a haematologist. Each looks at your case from a different angle. Doctors you can see at Ameerpet are marked.
Your case is discussed by CION’s specialists from all its centres, not only the doctors near you.
Surgery, medicines and radiation are compared side by side, not one at a time.
One recommendation the specialists agree on, instead of separate opinions.
Treat cancer with medicines, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.

Tumour Board Review: Other CION centres in Hyderabad
Nothing. At CION Ameerpet, the consultation and the tumour board review are both free, including for patients diagnosed or treated at another hospital. Any new tests, and any treatment you choose, are paid for separately.
It depends on your case and on whether your reports are complete. Ask your CION doctor at the consultation when your case will be discussed and when to come back for your plan.
No. A CION doctor needs to see you before your case goes to the board, so please visit with your reports. If travel is hard, ask about a video consultation first.
Yes, bring a family member to your visits if you’d like support. CION’s doctors speak Telugu, Hindi and English, so ask for the language you’re most comfortable with.
You do. The board recommends a plan; your CION doctor explains it, answers your questions and helps you decide. The written summary is yours to share with any doctor, and there’s no commitment to start treatment at CION.
Not quite. A second opinion is usually one more doctor’s view of your diagnosis and plan. A tumour board review brings several specialists together to agree on one plan.
All the cancers CION treats, including breast, cervical, ovarian, uterine, lung, blood, stomach, colorectal, liver, prostate, kidney, and head and neck cancers.
It starts with a free consultation at CION Ameerpet. The board review is free too.
This page explains how tumour board reviews work at CION Cancer Clinics. It is general information, not medical advice. Your treatment plan is made only after a consultation and a review of your reports.
